Faced with the reality of religious pluralism, both Quebec and Canadian societies must redefine the relationship between religion, their core values and their cultures. The aim of the Chair for the Management of Cultural and Religious Diversity is to promote multidisciplinary research, while also developing cutting-edge expertise and training on emerging issues related to religion. The Chair acts as a catalyst for scientific and public reflections.
